When Billionaires Marry: The Wedding of Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal

On the 12th of December, following week-long
festivities and star-studded events, Isha Ambani, 27, and Anand Piramal, 33,
married in Udaipur’s City Palace overlooking Lake Pichola. And when
billionaires marry they don’t go small. The wedding is reported to have cost
$139 million. But that’s chump change for Asia’s richest family.

The life of billionaires

The Ambanis as stated are Asia’s richest family and they live
in a one billion dollar—yes, B for
billion—twenty-seven storey skyscraper in Mumbai, which is considered one
of the world’s most expensive homes (only trumped by Buckingham Palace).

The family’s patriarch, Mukesh Ambani, owns the
oil-to-telecom conglomerate, Reliance Industries. His net worth is $42.7
billion according to Forbes. The company was launched by
Isha’s grandfather in a rags to riches story which began life as a materials
business and grew to the world’s largest producer of polyester fibre and yarn.

The guest list

Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, Hillary Clinton, and Arianna Huffington were in attendance of the multi-million dollar affair. Shah Rukh Khan, another of India’s biggest movie stars, attended as well as former US Secretary of State John Kerry.

A private Beyoncé concert?

Superstar singer Beyoncé serenaded guests with a private concert
as did Bollywood actress and singer, Aishwarya Rai, for the couple’s Sangeet, a
night of music and dancing as part of a traditional Indian wedding.

of events.

The outfits

outfits. The bride was decked in a gold embroidered lehenga and adorned with
jewels.
